These are good reasons to write, and to pour our souls into our writing!

But this initial conclusion makes a tyro mistake: it is inspiring in a broad sense, but too abstract to help us in the concrete details of the week-by-week, day-by-day, hour-by-hour struggle to complete and deliver our creative work to those who await it. The question we must ask, of each of our works, is why exactly am I doing thisparticular thing?

The answer will give you moment-by-moment strength to press on, and wise insight when facing dilemmas. It will help you identify, or clarify, your target audience. It will suggest the best ways to bring your work to delivery, getting it into the hands of the persons who want it, who appreciate it... perhaps who need it.

This answer is what you need to keep you going, in the right direction, and in the right ways.
